I spend a lot of time on the Magento forum and it seems that people are often plagued with the same problems or questions. This series of blog posts are designed to help and in many cases, stop you pulling your hair out!
How do I add an image to the homepage?
Upload the image you wish to use so that it is in the following folder: /skin/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/images
Log into the magento admin system and go to cms > pages > homepage
To add an image to the content area add the following code:-
<img src=”{{skin url=’images/homepageimage.jpg’}}” width=”200″ height=”100″ alt=”I’m a homepage image” />
You can replace the homepageimage.jpg with whatever you have named your image, adding the appropriate width and height.
Why the funny brackets?
The curly brackets are template tags that mean you do not have to enter the full url – a much quicker way of adding urls!
